Different issue from http://answers.ros.org/question/196189/frontier_exploration-with-turtlebot/
Using [a package I just made](https://github.com/130s/turtlebot_samples/tree/indigo), which launches Gazebo, gmapping, and nodes from `frontier_exploration` by the following command:
roslaunch turtlebot_samples exploration_all.launch
Turtlebot stands still while I believe I give a goal point successfully (BTW [I've added a step-by-step instruction for running a demo](http://wiki.ros.org/action/info/frontier_exploration?action=diff&rev2=43&rev1=41)).

I'm guessing something in my config for `frontier_exploration` maybe specific to Turtlebot, but not sure. I'm looking at [frontier_exploration/launch/global_map.launch](https://github.com/paulbovbel/frontier_exploration/blob/3988885f4e4db737f31a1ab12d0aff91f12c76d0/launch/global_map.launch) and [husky_navigation/launch/exploration.launch](https://github.com/husky/husky/blob/indigo-devel/husky_navigation/launch/exploration.launch) in particular.
Thanks.
